Big green blob of legal trouble

Posted: June 13, 2012

THIS ISN'T the first time the Phanatic's been accused of being too fanatical.

In 2010 the Daily News found he'd been sued at least three other times in the previous decade, once for hugging someone too hard.

One woman attending a Reading Phillies game with her church group claimed he sat on her legs, making her arthritis act up and leading to a knee replacement, a lawsuit alleged.

The resolutions of the lawsuits could not be determined Tuesday.

Nor is he the only mascot sued. In 2010, an Upper Darby woman sued Disney, claiming a Donald Duck mascot touched her breast and caused a "shock to her entire nervous system." n
